I don't know about you but in college, I have many long-distance friendships because unfortunately all of my home friends went to different Universities. Although we can all sob and be sad about it, there are a few perks when it comes to long-distance best friends.

1. You have someone to visit

I have the best time whenever I visit my friends at their new "home away from home." It is so much fun creating new memories not only at home but at their universities as well. It is almost like if it were one of those merged episodes o0f two different shows, you have your high school friends and then your college friends meet and hang out for the first time. My favorite place to visit is Florida State (sorry UCF people), but I love being able to see their new environment and meet the people they spend every day with.

2. You have someone to call and facetime

I love being able to come back to my apartment after a long day at school and call my bestie to let her know the 411. With calling and informing them it is so much better to ask your long-distance friends for advice because they are not biased and will give you the real tea. I love being able to come together on the phone and talk about everything that is going on in our lives, it's almost as if I am there with them.

3. Getting to see them during breaks

This is what I look forward to 24/7, BREAKS! Breaks are the best just because you get to fully reunite with your besties you do not get to see on the daily. During breaks, it almost feels as if it were just like "old times" again. I love being able to do fun activities with my besties and catch up on life.

4. You know they are one of the good ones

By this time if you guys are still friends you most definitely know they will be in your life forever. This person you have by your side after you guys literally live thousands of miles away from each other are your friends for life. They know everything from when you guys were little to know, so hold on to them tight and make sure to tell them that you love and appreciate them.

P.S. you guys know who you are and I love you all so very much.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
